    I'm trying to isolate a problem that showed up in my builds

    the one big change was I moved from GCC/4.9 to GCC/5.x  On
    the surface, this seemed to be a non-consequence, but I have
    one very subtle corner case that is now broken.  In an effort
    to isolate the issue (I no longer think it was the compiler
    change), I went back to GCC/4.9.  This caused my build (tree)
    which has existed for many months (the same build tree started
    in Feb 2016) to basically rebuild everything.

    There's the rub - shouldn't the sstate-cache hold all of those
    old bits and just be able to re-stage?  I'm a bit confused about
    that.  Even worse, I switched back to GCC/5.x, didn't touch
    anything else in my sources or build tree, and now it's off
    again, [re]building the majority of my packages.


It's possible that there was some other change that caused a rebuild.  
bitbake-whatchanged, bitbake -S printdiff, etc
will help you chase this if you want to.

Nothing else changed, I'm sure.
